How to increase Bike Power\u00a0–\u00a0introduction<\/strong><\/span><\/h2>\n

Having the right data at our disposal (always the same and measurable), the new challenge by MagneticDays was to separate the “Power data” in its two fundamental components<\/strong>: RPM (Revolution Per Minute) and Force (Newton Per Meters). What is the Power?\u00a0In physics,\u00a0power\u00a0is the rate of doing\u00a0work, the amount of\u00a0energy\u00a0transferred per unit time.\u00a0In the\u00a0International System of Units, the unit of power is the\u00a0joule\u00a0per\u00a0second\u00a0(J\/s),\u00a0known as the\u00a0Watt (W)<\/strong>.\u00a0When an object’s\u00a0velocity\u00a0is held constant at one\u00a0meter per second\u00a0against a constant opposing force of one\u00a0newton, the rate at which\u00a0work\u00a0is done is 1 watt.<\/span><\/p>\n

The force applied to the pedal in our Indoor Cycling System (originated from the magnetic\u00a0<\/strong>brake) includes all the forces that we can perceive outdoor like wind, friction, dynamic resistance and all those factors that can change continuosly\u00a0“forcing” body to adapt itself over and over again in order to find the optimal balance.\u00a0Considering that\u00a0Jarvis is\u00a0not an ordinary\u00a0smart trainer but a scientific and cycling lab where<\/strong> is possible to work entirely on the body of each athlete<\/strong>, we can control the physiological respones to training going to control the factors\u00a0affecting Power.<\/span><\/p>\n

How to increase Bike Power<\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\n

In the first article about our Training Philosophy<\/a>,\u00a0<\/span>we had\u00a0explained how using either the MagneticDays or any other Indoor Training\u00a0System that\u00a0use\u00a0a resistance produced by permanent magnets<\/strong>\u00a0(taking advantage from the\u00a0Lorentz force)\u00a0or dynamic resistance (produced by brakes)<\/strong>, we\u00a0are always in a phiysical condition of \u201cflat terrain in the absence of wind.\u201d\u00a0Considering\u00a0this “Physical state”, the scientific literature suggests how the best cycling cadence to optimize the pedalling technique and efficiency is\u00a0at\u00a0approximately 90 RPM<\/strong>. For example: Mario, Eric and Luke are three guys and athletes who have apparently the same perfomance:<\/span>:<\/p>\n

Mario<\/strong><\/em>: 250 Watt\u00a0(threshold heart rate) originated from 30 Newton and 80 RPM<\/span><\/p>\n

Eric<\/em><\/strong>: 250 Watt (threshold heart rate)\u00a0originated from 23 Netwon and 96 RPM<\/span><\/p>\n

Luke<\/strong><\/em>: 250 Watt (threshold heart rate) originated from 27 Newton and 88 RPM<\/span><\/p>\n

This\u00a0situation\u00a0represent three levels of Power exactly the same but determinated by\u00a0three completely different feautures.\u00a0Supposing that\u00a0the values of thresold heart rate and RPM (for each athlete\u00a0in training) are\u00a0250 Watt\u00a0and 88 RPM, the specific\u00a0training for Mario, Eric and Luke is Agility<\/strong><\/em>,\u00a0Strenght<\/strong><\/em> and Neutral<\/strong><\/em> respectively.<\/span><\/p>\n

Through\u00a0our analysis we can confirm that<\/strong>\u00a0we can help “Mario” to improve his cadence naturally cycling at 85 RPM (starting from a value of 80 RPM) and improving his threshold heart rate\u00a0from 250 to 265 Watt (if force is equal, 1 RPM is equal to 3 Watt)<\/strong>. Among other things, Mario represents (as physiological features)\u00a0more than\u00a080%\u00a0of not professional cyclists.<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

With this example we want to explain\u00a0two important things:<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Before to write a custom built training, is absolutely necessary to determine the specific physiological values\u00a0for each athlete;<\/span><\/em><\/li>\n
  2. Having at disposal a scientific instrument as MagneticDays, is possible to work finely on specific parameters as Watt, Newton and RPM, influencing the physical characteristics of the athletes.<\/em><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
